TVL in lending protocols of DeFi has reached a new peak, surpassing 55.6 billion USD.
The total value locked (TVL) in lending protocols has set a new record, exceeding 55.69 billion USD — higher than any historical peak recorded in the years 2021, 2022, and the end of 2024.
A major contributor to this increase is Aave v3, as the TVL of this protocol reached a new record high of 26.09 billion USD last week. Just two months prior, at the beginning of April, the TVL of Aave v3 was only 16.87 billion USD — equivalent to a 55% increase in just two months. Compared to the beginning of 2025 (TVL 19.72 billion USD), Aave v3 has increased by more than 32% year-to-date.
Not only has TVL increased significantly, but revenue from protocol fees has also improved. In April, Aave recorded an average of about 900,000 USD/day in fees, and this figure rose to 1.6 million USD/day in June. Over the past three months, the AAVE token has increased by more than 65%, outperforming Bitcoin's 26% rise during the same period.
Notably, the upward trend is not limited to Aave. Other lending protocols like Morpho Blue and Maple Finance have also reported strong growth rates:
In terms of tokens, MORPHO has increased by 12% over the past three months, while SYRUP — the native token of Maple Finance that was just launched in May 2025 — has risen by over 140% since its release.
Maple Finance is gradually establishing its position by expanding into the field of high collateral-free real asset lending (RWA). With the "sovereign pool" model, any credit representative can grant loan limits, as long as they can verify the borrower's evaluation data on-chain. This mechanism helps Maple diversify its customer base, no longer limited to crypto market makers as before.
This trend also reflects a larger shift in the crypto financial sector, where traditional credit desks — which could not hold crypto assets — can participate by purchasing tokenized bonds, thereby circulating capital into DeFi infrastructures.
